"and whatever's in it, it's gotta be good."

What?

Old man have safe.

And he's gone for a week.

All right.

There's an old man, he's got a safe,

and he's gone for a week.

Let's just work with that.

You know what I'm saying?

Landline's cut, cell signal's jammed.

No one will be making

for distress call tonight.

Comm check.

- Check.

- Check.

Hey, if the job goes bad,

you know I got your back, right?

Don't worry.

It's not gonna happen.

I love it when he gets cocky.

Damn!

Alarm is dead.

Nice.

All right,

I'm moving through the house.

There's a fingerprint lock on the door.

It's got what?

Ernesto didn't tell me nothing about that.

Aw, man, are we screwed?

Not necessarily.

I'm in.

No alarms have been triggered.

He's in like the Flynn.

Oh, man.

What is it?

Well, they weren't kidding.

This safe is serious.

How serious

are we talking, Scotty?

It's a Carbondale.

It's from 1910.

Made from the same steel as the Titanic.

Wow.

Can you crack it?

Well, here's the thing.

It doesn't do so well in the cold.

Remember what that iceberg did?

Yeah, man. It killed DiCaprio.

Killed everybody.

Did not kill the old lady.

She still throw the jewel into the oceans.

What are you doing?

I poured water in the locking mechanism

and froze it with nitrogen.

Ice expands. Metal doesn't.

- What are you doing now?

- Waiting.

Waiting.

Nice.

What is it? Cash? Jewels?

- There's nothing here.

- What did you say?

- It's a suit.

- What?

It's an old motorcycle suit.

There's no cash, no jewelry, nothing?

No.

It's a bust.

I'm really sorry, Scotty.

I know you needed to score.

I thought we were using mice.

What's the difference?

Commence Experiment 34-C.

Organic atomic reduction.

Darren, maybe we should think...

Shrinking organic tissue

is the centerpiece of this technology.

I can't go to the buyers

with half a breakthrough.

Experiment 34-C results,

negative.

Sanitize the work station.

Bring in subject 35-C.

Why would you lock this up?

This is so weird.

Scotty, what's up, man?

I wonder... What is this?

The world sure seems different

from down here, doesn't it, Scott?

What? Who said that?

Luis, down here!

It's a trial by fire, Scott.

Or, in this case,

water.

Guess you're tougher

than you thought.

Oh, I don't want to see this!

Luis!

Son of a...

What the hell?

Not bad for a test drive.

Keep the suit. I'll be in touch.

No! No! No, thank you!

Get down on the ground!

You are under arrest!

No, I didn't steal anything!

I was returning something I stole.

Oh...

Don't move.

You know,

you almost had us convinced

that you were gonna change your ways.

They were really rooting for you.

It's gonna break their hearts.

- You got a visitor.

- Who?

Your lawyer.

My lawyer?

I told you I'd be in touch, Scott.

I'm starting to think that

you prefer the inside of a jail cell.

Oh, man.

Sit down.

Sir, I'm sorry I stole the suit.

I don't even wanna know

why you have it.

Maggie was right about you.

How do you know about...

No wonder she's trying

to keep you away from Cassie.

The moment things get hard,

you turn right back to crime.

The way I see it, you have a choice.

You can either spend

the rest of your life in prison,

or go back to your cell

and await further instructions.

I don't understand.

No, I don't expect you to.

But you don't have many options

right now, and quite frankly,

neither do I.

Why do you think I let you

steal that suit in the first place?

What?

Second chances don't come around

all that much.

So, next time you think

you might see one,

I suggest you take a real close look at it.

You're my bestest friend!

Are you sure you

don't want a different toy?

No, I love this one.

Okay. Well, get some sleep. I love you.

- Mommy?

- Hmm?

Is Daddy a bad man?

I heard some grownups say he's bad.

No.

Daddy just gets confused sometimes,

you know?

Smart choice.

You actually listened, for once.

Under the door.

Okay, where to now?

- Hang tight.

- Oh, God.

What, what?

Where the hell did he go?

I have no idea. He just vanished.

Set up a five-block perimeter. Now!

Get back! Get back!

Scott, these are my associates.

Is that a camera on an ant?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

Where's the car?

No car. We've got wings.

Incoming!

Put your foot on the central node

and mount the thorax.

- How safe is...

- Just get on the damn ant, Scott!

Why am I on a police car?

Shouldn't I not be on a police car?

So they can give you a lift

past their five-block perimeter.

All right.

- Now, what's the next move?

- Hang on tight.

Oh, this is easy!

I'm getting the hang of this.

Yank up to go up. It's like a horse.

You're throwing 247 off balance.

Wait, his name is 247?

He doesn't have a name,

he has a number, Scott.

Do you have any idea

how many ants there are?

Whoa!

Maybe it's... Maybe it's 248.

No, no! Vertigo, vertigo!

- No, I think it's 247.

- Wait.

Hang on tight!

I think

I'm getting the hang of this.

I am controlling 247.

He is not listening to you.

What?

- Can I make one little request?

- No.

Stop, 247! Time out, time out.

Time out.

All right, hold on.

Just wait! Whoa!

What happens

if I throw up in this helmet?

It's my helmet, Scott.

You do not throw up.

Let's set her down, all right?

I'm getting light-headed.

Hang on, Scott.

I'm getting a little light...

I need a snooze button.

Hit me in 5 minutes.

Hello.

Who are you?

Have you been standing there,

watching me sleep, this whole time?

Yes.

Why?

Because the last time you were here,

you stole something.

Oh. Oh.

Hey, look...

Whoa!

Paraponera clavata.

Giant tropical bullet ants,

ranked highest

on the Schmidt pain index.

They're here to keep an eye on you

when I can't.

Dr. Pym's waiting for you downstairs.

Who?

Hey!

Um... Whose pajamas are these?

How am I supposed to do this?

All right, just one step at a time.

Ugh!

You don't bite me,

I don't step on you. Deal?

I could take down the servers

and Cross wouldn't even know it.

We don't need this guy.

I assume that you've already

met my daughter, Hope.

I did. She's great.

She doesn't think that we need you.

We don't. We can do this ourselves.

I go to all this effort

to let you steal my suit,

and then Hope has you arrested.

Okay, we can try this and when he fails,

I'll do it myself.

She's a little bit anxious.

It has to do with this job,

which, judging by the fact

that you're sitting opposite me,

I take it that you're interested in.

What job?

Would you like some tea?

Uh... Sure.

I was very impressed with

how you managed to get

past my security system.

Freezing that metal

was particularly clever.

Were you watching me?

Scott, I've been watching you for a while.

Ever since you robbed Vista Corp.

Oh! Excuse me.

"Burgled" Vista Corp.

Vista's security system was one of

the most advanced in the business.

It was supposed to be unbeatable.

But you beat it.

Would you like some sugar?

Yeah, thanks.

You know what? I'm okay.
